Petty theft

This refers to the letter on 15 May on the above subject. The content of the letter is indeed disturbing and is a matter of shame that a high official of the government of Bangladesh could steal hotel items on his departure and was caught at the KL airport, Malaysia. May we expect the government to investigate the matter immediately and take punitive action against this officer-turned-thief. We presume that it is his habit and he may have committed many such offences at home and has now dared to venture abroad with his act!
